Looking at the current CG Core v2 spec I see that country and region coverage are implemented as a class. For example:

    <dct:coverage>
        <dct:spatial>
            <type>Country</type>
            <dct:identifier>http://sws.geonames.org/192950</dct:identifier>
            <rdfs:label>Kenya</rdfs:label>
        </dct:spatial>
    </dct:coverage>

DSpace repositories use a flat schema so we are currently doing:

cg.coverage.country: Kenya
cg.coverage.region: Central Africa
cg.coverage.subregion: Kwalei Catchment

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this for now, so this is just an FYI for implementers.
